My chances for an MBB job?
Hi,
I’m currently working for a major Oil & Gas Company with good name recognition (A usual client for McKinsey). I have a deep interest to join a top management consulting company (McKinsey, Bain or BCG). Below is some info about me:
Age: 36
15 years experience in the oil and gas industry (3 years in a Gas Plant, 2 years in a Refinery and rest in engineering consulting)
BS degree: Chemical engineering
MSc degree: Materials Engineering
MBA
Published a number of technical papers
Some voluntary work

Good.
